Hi,

I am trying to use the OpenXAI tool in the google colab environment. But when I using the pip command the following error is show:

"ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /content"

Could you please provide any solution of this problem.

Do you mind sharing the exact pip command, and the complete stack trace for me to reproduce the error? Thanks!

Thank you for your quick response . The command is in the below:
pip install -e .

However, I tried with the command "pip install -e ". Then the following problem is arise

**Usage:
pip3 install [options] [package-index-options] ...
pip3 install [options] -r [package-index-options] ...
pip3 install [options] [-e] ...
pip3 install [options] [-e] ...
pip3 install [options] <archive url/path> ...

-e option requires 1 argument**

However, I tried with the command "pip install -e ". Then the following problem is arise

Did you miss the dot in your command?

It should be pip install -e . instead of pip install -e

@jiaqima I also used pip install -e . for installing the openXAI in the google colab but the following error is raised:

ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /content

Hi @ripankundu, you have to be in the OpenXAI root folder to run pip install -e .. I'm not sure how to locate the folder in colab though.
